Cheetah CL-180 High Power Bare Bulb Hotshoe Flash

Cheetah Stand (US based) have a high powered bare bulb hotshoe flash available in in the next few weeks. I've followed this for along time and its looking to be the first serious option since the Sunpak 120j ended production a few years ago.

This is a true 150WS unit as lightweight as a speedlight (minus the Lithium battery pack, which only weighs as much as a second speedlight but provides 8-900 full power pops!). That's 1.4 stops of light above over TWO SB-900 together in an Apollo softbox. Not to mention the softer bare bulb light quality, and ability to shoot more shots without hitting over heat protection.

Remote manual power control is through semi integrated radio triggers (any other manual radio triggers like PocketWizards can also be used just to fire the flash).
